Installation of loadR.java

[WentingyY]

Hi

I've already installed rjava, and set the JAVA_HOME as "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_231\bin". But when I tried to install loadR.java the following errors occured:

Downloading GitHub repo SantanderMetGroup/loadeR.java@master

Error: Failed to install 'loadeR.java' from GitHub:

In addition: Warning messages:

running command 'tar.exe -tf "C:\Users\YWT\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpSqzQbt\file391051bb446.tar.gz"' had status 2

I am confused about this error. Could you please help chech this?

Thank you!

Hi @WentingyY ,
I am not familiar with the error, but the installation is working fine so far.
Doing a quick search on the internet I've found this:

It seems a problem when attempting the decompression of the tar file containing the sources. Is it possible that it was a momentary problem and it is now working fine? Did you tray again?
best regards
